Want to watch your favorite local stations and streaming services no matter where you travel? A Raspberry Pi VPN can help! A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and hides your IP address, so you can browse the web privately and securely. This means you can watch geo-restricted content and bypass censorship filters. Plus, a Raspberry Pi VPN is a lot more affordable than a commercial VPN service.

CINPA Mtg 4/3/24 - Linux "Windows Replacements" - Brad Green

REGISTER Register REGISTER

CLICK above to REGISTER - On-line 

At the March meeting, a question arose regarding “Windows” replacements and choices on Linux OS, prompting lively topic exchange. So, on April 3, 2024, Brad Green will be doing a demo install of Linux Mint and some other configurations. He’ll also bring some of his systems with different versions for a hands-on demonstration of varied flavors of Linux. These are the things that can extend some older PCs that people may want to continue to keep modern.

Cheers,
Allen

CINPA Mtg March 6, 2024 - Human Hacking (Social Engineering) - Charles Lester

Human Hacking (Social Engineering):

Human hacking, also known as social engineering, “is about hacking the human mind, something that in many ways is significantly easier than finding a new hat vulnerability and using it as a gateway into your enterprise.” Tomer Teller

The presentation (1) analyzes how social engineering works, (2) reviews some typical attacks with specific examples, (3) notes the impact of AI on certain types of attacks, (4) provides a framework to understand why social engineering attacks are so successful, (5) provides some suggestions on how to undermine the ability of the social engineering attacks to succeed, and (6) provides resources for study.

Charles T. Lester, Jr., JD, CISSP

Charles has been a licensed attorney for forty-four years, and has tried cases before juries in both federal and state courts. He also has been involved in securing secrets and systems for a number of different companies over the years, and currently is on the Platform Operations team at Great American. He is secretary of both the Cincinnati Infragard chapter and the Cincinnati Tri-State ISC2 chapter, is Security Director for the Cincinnati Networking Professionals Association(CiNPA), and runs the CiNPA Security SIG, which meets every third Thursday of the month to provide CPE opportunities for local security professionals.

South facing side of the building has RDI signage easily visible  from Glendale-Milford Road

For the March 3, 2023 CINPA Meeting with BitWarden presenting - we are going to handle the food distribution a bit differently than in the past.  In the past paid CINPA members got food at meetings for no cost and non-members were charged a $5.00 meeting admission which included food.  We ordered food after the meeting started so we would know how many people to order for.

 We now want to have the meeting room open early (6:30 pm) with food so that people can say hello and eat before the meeting starts at 7:00 pm.  To accomplish this we will provide food at no charge for attendees that have their reservation in by Tuesday, 1 day before the meeting.  This food is not offered to the entire world at large, just to those interested in CINPA.

 3/1/23 CINPA MEETING RSVP - IN Person and On-Line https://forms.gle/Az7QXo8wNMVkR5qf6

Also ONLINE - Registration and access link provided via RSVP below

For those attending IN PERSON, we will have pizza and drinks for you.  Please RSVP and indicate whether you intend to attend IN PERSON or by Web Meeting.
